An authentic 19th century railway carriage, beautifully restored and reinvigorated for supreme relaxation on the unspoilt Dungeness Nature Reserve.
  • Sleeps: 6 (+2)
  • Bedrooms: 3
  • Bathrooms: 2
  • Minimum stay: 2 nights

Unique in both its construction and its location, you’ll discover Sunray on the furthest shingle point of the magnificent, 468-acre Dungeness Nature Reserve, completely surrounded by unspoilt nature.

Comprised of the dark wooden frame of an authentic 19th century railway carriage and whitewashed, panelled walls, there’s a beautiful contrast of light and dark throughout, spectacularly enhanced by uninterrupted views of that awe-inspiring natural landscape.

Sunray sleeps up to eight incredibly lucky guests (6 adults/2 children), who will find the space filled to the brim with luxuries, from the indulgent free-standing bath ideally placed for gazing across the shingles, to the wooden sleeper decking that’s both a beautiful sun trap, and perfect for observing the abundant bird life…

…all set off by the soothing sounds of the sea.
